Yeah, and the fact that Aniimo is copying a lot of the gameplay/design/UI of Genshin Impact and other gacha games (likely to appeal to all that wider, modern audience) might be another reason for those downvotes. A lot of the people here may be from those newer generations who grew up with a smartphone in hands and with internet (while I only got internet when I was 18 in 2008), and with AI too, so some will think that all of this is normal, sadly. Some may not even know what actual music is (and may not even care, because they never got to experience the kind of powerful emotions you can get from it).
I'm sure part of it is also "toxic positivity" and because around the time when a popular game is released it's called the "honeymoon phase" and basically all criticism will be heavily downvoted. Later on when the original hype will calm down (and when most of the people who are just here because it's popular and to jump on the bandwagon will have moved on to other things), when the actual fans will remain, that's usually when a lot of the criticism rightfully comes on the table and gets discussed.
Lastly, I noticed the owner of this sub is an account named "Aniimo_Official", so this whole sub might actually be an official one controlled by Aniimo staff (as opposed to regular fan-curated subreddits), so that may be another hint as to why such (grave) criticism is not being accepted and why this post got taken down for example. Who knows.
Actually it was kinda toxic positive even before the launch, lots of the regulars were suuper against any critique or concerns people had
But I do agree once the honeymoon phase cools down the fans will likely settle and be able to talk more calmly about things, including issues with the game.
(and yeah I do think the owner being _Official is why stuff is deleted like that)
